Ancestral Worship “The Post”

Many might recall me describing a post on deputation in which the Xhosa people would display the horns and skulls of their animal sacrifices to their ancestors. 

While passing out invitations for the family festival at Soweto Baptist church, we walked by several of these posts and I wanted to share with you all just how they look!

I was not able to take the pictures myself due to the possibility of causing offense to the community, so Matthew Joyi, a man that attends Soweto Baptist Church and helps Pastor Jeremy Hall, took these pictures for me…

Please pray with me that the Gospel will have free course to work in the hearts of the Xhosa people and that lives will be turned from ancestral worship to worship our Great King, King Jesus!

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support of our family!
